WAITING…..

I’m waiting for the respectable leadership of the African-American community to denounce Amiri Baraka’s blood libel — is there another word for it? — about the “4000 Israelis” (modified from the canonical “4000 Jews”) who allegedly failed to show up for work at the World Trade Center on September 11.

Of course, I’m still waiting for that same leadership to denounce the anti-Semitic remarks made, not only by Cynthia McKinney and her father, but by the chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, after McKinney’s primary defeat in Georgia.

[Sings, badly off key: "I'm so tired, tired of waiting, tired of waiting for yoooo - oooooo - ooooo."]
